What errors?

He might have been referring to the website...

[ptwortman]

respect is still wrong for mentors, i thought "The Handout" was being changed, its still "interest in...", for the FAQs, the interested to join should be On our team, not In our team, under team basics, should be As an active, not As a active, and exceptions should be more like expectations, Valerie Strain, not Varlerie Strain



only bc i have nothing better to do at the moment.

I like it.

It's very short and to the point. I did not see any errors when I read through the newest version. Thanks Tanner!

[ptwortman]

exceptions is still bugging my, but i can deal good jorb

Just some smaller errors that I found.

- Our Mission: "Peachtree Ridge High School Robolions exists..." should be "exist".(Actually, should probably make it "The Peachtree Ridge...") Sounds better.
- Our Mission: "It allows students and mentors..." Pronoun issue, should be "they".
- Fast Facts: "Founded in 1989", FIRST was founded in 1992.
- FAQs: "I'm interested to join", I think it should be "I'm interested in joining..." Maybe Patrick can double check that.
- Team Basics: "...we have a few exceptions..." Should be expectations. ( I think this is what's bugging Patrick).
- Team Basics: "Reliable & actively contribute..." I believe it should be "Reliably & actively..."

Still looks good.

Also...anyone heard anything about the NC regional??? According to CD, the news was made official a little while ago. Anyone wanna go to a 3rd regional???

I swear I read somewhere that FIRST was created in 1989.

Create a new thread for new discussions. No hijacking.

Edit:
I did read 1989! FIRST was founded in 1989.

Though games didn't start until 1992? I don't know, I just work here....
